WOOD’S - THE WORLD’S LEADING DEHUMIDIFIERS
Wood’s dehumidifiers have been known as market leaders for many years. Wood’s dehumidifiers are suitable
for use in the most demanding climates, and have high dehumidifying capacity even at lower temperatures and
humidity levels. They are used with good results in premises that become damp such as cellars, crawl spaces,
garages or summer-houses. They are also excellent for drying washing, attics, pool rooms and laundry, being
efficient and low on energy consumption. Wood’s dehumidifiers will dry your clothes efficiently without wear.
The amount of humidity that the dehumidifier removes depends on temperature, humidity level and placement.
External weather conditions may also affect the performance of the dehumidifier. In cold weather the actual
humidity, (in grams per cubic meter air) decreases and thus the extraction of humidity from the air by the de-
humidifier is reduced. Therefore the dehumidifier is suitable for use in the temperature range +0˚C to +35˚C.
Wood’s dehumidifiers are safe in operation and intended for continuous use over many years.
EXCESSIVE AIR HUMIDITY - A DANGER
Condensation occurs when water vapour in the air comes into contact with a cold roof, window or wall. When
water vapour is cooled down, condensation occurs, and water-drops are formed. In high air humidity, the air
may get musty and mould is formed, causing damage to a house and its furnishings. This environment may
even cause illness for the residents, since mites and other creatures thrive in a damp environment. A dehumid-
ifier with high performance creates a good, healthy humidity level, and for greatest efficiency the doors and
windows of rooms that are being dehumidified should be kept closed. Wood’s dehumidifiers remove odours,
dries wood and clothing. A dehumidifier may be used in cellars, washrooms, garages, crawl spaces, caravans,
summer-houses and on boats.
PLACEMENT OF YOUR DEHUMIDIFIER
Wood’s dehumidifiers are easy to move around, all you need to have is a power source for 220/240V, but bear in mind
the following:
- The dehumidifier should not be placed near radiators or other heat sources or exposed to direct sunlight, as it will
reduce performance.
- It is beneficial to use a radiator or heating fan to keep the temperature above +5˚C to increase the capacity.
- The dehumidifier should stand at least 25cm from a wall or other obstruction, for maximum air flow.
- Ideal is to put it in the centre of the room / area.
HINTS:
- When the dehumidifier is used in extremely damp or very cold environments the dehumidifier may stop working as a
large amount of ice builds up on the cooling coil. Turn off the dehumidifier and place it a little above floor level so that
the ice will melt away.
- For maximum dehumidifying power in a room, it is recommended that the air supply from outside and from adjoin-
ing rooms is minimized – close doors and ventilators.
- Increase temp. for faster dehumidification ( warm air carries more water.)
- Expect higher dehumidification during the autumn and summer as the outside air is warm and humid.
- If the power is stopped suddenly, the machine will remain shut off for 3 minutes before restarting automatically when
the power returns.
